IMPROVEMENT IN FOOT-RESTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,911, dated June 29, 1875; application filed February 15, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. EDGOOMB, of Lima, in the county of La Grange and State of Indiana, and HENRY A. GORE, of Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, have invented certain Improvements in Foot- Rcsts, of which the following is a specification:

The object of our invention is to produce a foot-rest which shall be ornamental, durable, and easily constructed, which is provided with a convenient receptacle for slippers or other a ticles. It consists in two vertical end pieces of castiron or other suitable material, held in position by a troughshaped casting, which is provided with a cover and forms the slipperreceptacle and the lower rest for the foot. This casting is so hooked or locked into the end pieces that it is only necessary to screw or otherwise secure their upper ends to the under side of the upper rest.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a detail view, showing the manner of locking the slipper-case into the end pieces.

A A are the end pieces, provided with apertures for receiving the hooks c c. B is the trough-shaped casting or slipper-case, having the cover 0 hinged at b b, and is also provided with the hooks c 0. D is the upper rest. The foot-rest is put together by placing the end pieces on the hookscc, as shown in Fig.2, and then straighten ng them up until they are at right angles with the part B or parallel with each other. The upper ends of the parts AA are then screwed to the part D.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A foot-rest, consisting of the standards A A, slipper-case B, provided with the hooks c c
